................Hi everyone......on the 10th it will be a whole year since we lost Electric Frank...
I have spoken with Blake ( Admin ) and he was ok with me raising the topic. I just know that Frank was so special for so many people here in PMC and a kind of anniversary will bring back the great memories that he left us with.
For the Newbies who will not have had the good fortune to have received his wit and wisdom ,...get his name up on Member List (top left in red)....this will enable you to read his 'back catalogue' and learn more about this exceptional man.
PMC is a poorer place without him.
My very best wishes to all out there in PMC land.
My very best wishes to his son John.

Thanks for the reminder. I had the pleasure to get to know Frank through his posts, emails and book. He was truly a valuable resource for me and all members. May his spirit continue!
Blake

Thanks for reminding us. Electric Frank was one of the first to answer my many questions when I was first informed that I had to get a PM. He and Smitty were two of the most helpful folks I've ever had the good fortune to "meet" here or in person. Frank's wit and wisdom were second to none and I surely miss him. May I join with you in best wishes to son John and I hope all is going as well as possible for him.

I still miss him too!

Thanks for the post Tattoo Man!!
I agree, I feel so very fortunate that he had answered some of my own questions, I cherish his replies to this day.
I still look up his name to see some of his comments from the past.

He was great

I know he grounded me more than once, willing to share his now how with a touch of dry humor. Just what I needed. Jean

How sad! I've been off the site for quite some time and this is the first I've heard of Frank's passing. I really enjoyed his posts and I know he is missed greatly. God Speed Electric Frank!

.....the local CA paper in his hometown did not show up for better than a month after his passing. The on line version allowed people to post comments.
I posted one on behalf of the entire PMC.
Frank was a unique human being; a man of so many talents it was incredible. He & I missed meeting at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico in 1963-64 by a slim distance. The section of the range that I managed supported a project he worked on. We determined that he was in my Radar plotting room at a time when I was not there.
He is already missed.

When I come across a thread where Frank has commented, it makes me smile.
He is indeed missed.

..........................after 263 Reads I think that Electric Frank has been most worthily recognised...
Thank you to those who have responded and thank you to those who have read this simple message and chosen to find out more about Frank...
My maths says that close on 200 people have 'looked' at Frank.....
Just maybe, we will soon have someone to replace him, with his intellect / wisdom / wit.......................
Meanwhile ..we will just have to put up with IAN MC...
Hmmmmmm ???
